Beach recommendations for Brazil

A reader write the Times Online travel desk about Argentina's best beaches. In response, the Sunday Times travel expert Richard Green responded: "Argentina may have the Pampas, the Perito Mareno Glacier, and it’s good time capital, Buenos Aires, but it lacks great beaches. You could eek out some fun in Mar Del Plata or Pinamar, but they are pretty nondescript resort towns and they get unpleasantly chocka with locals in summer. I’d say the ideal end to your trip is to flop in style, either in Uruguay, or better still, Brazil."

In Brazil, Green recommends Buzios, Paraty or Fernando de Noronha, with short descriptions of each and ends the article with getting there suggestions.
